Man I LOVE that Kayle's gender isn't immediately identifiable. There's actually a note in her lore that she keeps herself ambiguous because--being an angel--she is astonishingly beautiful and doesn't want the attention it gets her.

The whole Samus Aran thing is great if it's not overdone. And since Kayle is the only champion who's like this...It's fine, and great.

I'm just happy I have a champ named after me. But now it looks like I have to get a RP card so I can get her bundle...why must you do this to me Riot...
EDIT: Posting under the Parrot Overlord

And you copy other games!

And you copy other comic books!

How does it feel that Vi is a completely cliche character that has been done to death?

I'm glad you all enjoy Vi's visual direction and theme. To echo the Parrot, we do listen, learn and iterate.
The Champ Team has been working hard to up our variety in both art and mechanical design. We're just getting started....next year's line up is looking pretty wild!

I do not like how thin she is, she lack muscle, that's something I want you to incorporate in a female champ.

For me (personal opinion) Vi feel weak visually, like Ez in therms of muscle mass, which is quite silly considering the massive gauntlets and play style.

You mean the fact that she seems like a tomboy? Sure, she has that. But, the title of your thread is about over-sexualized female characters not the lack of the tomboyish ones.

I don't mind covered up champs at all. Leona is one of my favorite supports and I love Hilde in Soulcalibur. My only real problem with Vi is her hair. Short hair never looks good on women. Ever.
Hmmmm. I disagree. My wife has short hair.
